Over the coming months, I want to share all the thinking that has gone into developing my school's new Curriculum and Assessment model.
Whilst, waiting for the illusive moment where I'll have time to write it all up, I thought I would start sharing little bits and bobs that might help other curriculum leaders (SL or ML) as it is a "hot topic" at the moment.
So firstly, I have shared over email lots of times the bibliography I have collated whilst on this journey since Jan 2018.
I'll add it here and endeavour to update as I read new stuff:
